Daydream Surprise: Lloyd's second visit to the WQED studio in Pittsburgh initially plays out as if the studio crew has decided to work him into the episode for the day, then gets really surreal, before revealing that Lloyd passed out on the studio set.

Sheep in Sheep's Clothing: Lloyd approaches the assignment with the mentality that the real Fred can't possibly be as good as he appears on the show, expecting him to be somehow flawed as a person, if not something even worse. He's wrong.

comment
Framing Device: Significant portions of the film play out like an episode of Mr. Rogers' show, with him singing the opening and closing songs, Mr. McFeely arriving with a Speedy Delivery, and Picture Picture showing a video of how a magazine is made. In addition, most of the exterior shots are replaced by models in the style of the opening and closing credits of the series, to the point where midway through the film, the use of actual vehicles being shown in a serious moment as Lloyd runs from the hospital and flies back to Pittsburgh is genuinely jarring.

Black Gal on White Guy Drama: Averted. Susan's race is never brought up as being a point of struggle for herself and Lloyd. Although it is briefly touched upon, when it is mentioned that she couldn't get a cab and that people on the subway were regarding her with contempt rather than sympathy for being out so late with her infant son.

Not an Act: When given an assignment that seems to be a fluff piece, Lloyd decides to make the most of it and find out if Mr. Rogers is just playing a character for the cameras and has flaws. He is bowled over to learn that Mr. Rogers is really a Nice Guy through and through and can't break character if he tried. Lloyd even tries to draw a distinction between the person and the character, which only draws confusion from Fred.

Five-Second Foreshadowing: During the scene where Jerry introduces Lloyd to his girlfriend, Dorothy, and subsequently gets into another argument, he angrily tells Lloyd that he'll never see him again after today. At first it seems like Jerry is simply planning to walk out of Lloyd's life again, only to get a heart attack, the implication being that he's been Secretly Dying.

Tranquil Fury: Discussed in-universe. Fred Rogers says he waits to let out his anger until he can slam his hands onto his piano keyboard. When Lloyd brings up how difficult it must have been for Fred's kids to have Mr. Rogers as a father. Rogers is giving a massive Death Glare at Lloyd, but in his usual calm, friendly tone says he never thought of it like that and thanks Lloyd for the different perspective.

Stock Footage: When Lloyd does research on Rogers, he watches his appearances on The Arsenio Hall Show and The Oprah Winfrey Show, which utilizes actual footage of his appearances and, in Forrest Gump fashion, Rogers is replaced with Hanks as Rogers. The middle of the end credits concludes with actual footage of Mr. Rogers singing "You've Got to Do It".

comment
Throw It In: In-Universe, Mr. Rogers struggled to put up a tent in an attempt to show how to. The crew offered to do a new take with the tent already set up, but he kept the scene as-is, explaining that he felt it important to show children that adults can struggle doing things too. This is actually based on a real life event, but the movie takes several liberties, as noted above under Artistic License – History.

Wham Shot: In the opening scene, no less. The film begins with a beat-by-beat recreation of the show's opening theme, followed by Mister Rogers opening flaps of pictures of his friends on a pictureboard. Everything is cute and harmless, until he opens a flap revealing a bruised and bloodied Lloyd, setting the surreal tone for the rest of the film.

Artistic License – History: The prolonged scene of Mr. Rogers attempting, and failing, to put up a tent is based on a real event from the television show's production, however unlike the movie, which is set in 1998, this attempt happened in 1975. Also unlike in the movie, where Mr. Rogers decides to leave it in as an educational experience about making mistakes, in real life Fred Rogers did just have it set up by the studio staff instead.

Humble Hero: Fred Rogers lacks anything regarding an ego, but is also the first to admit that he is a flawed, average human being who isn't doing anything that anyone one else is incapable of doing. Lloyd has difficulty trying to grasp Fred's mentality in regards to his job, as he keeps trying to ascribe more selfish motivations for what Fred is doing- the appeal of celebrity, taking on a personae for the cameras, coming back to do a kid's show for more money. It takes Lloyd a while to accept that Mister Rogers is exactly what he appears to be.

Based on a True Story: The very first thing after the logos is the text "Inspired by a True Story". And, yes, this is mainly inspired by a real article written for Esquire, but most of the story was fictionalized. Tom Junod became Lloyd Vogel, and was given a strained relationship with his son and his father. The only real part of the story was Old Rabbit, which was an actual stuffed animal that Junod once owned. Junod did praise the film for capturing his relationship with Fred Rogers pretty well.

Sugar Apocalypse: Touched upon, as Lloyd tries to bring up how Mr. Rogers brings up shockingly dark subjects on his show, including war, divorce and similar topics. Fred didn't seem the least bit concerned, as he shares early on how his entire message is teaching children how to deal with their emotions, the "mad that I feel."

Aside Glance: Before the minute of silence, Mr. Rogers seems to look right at the audience when he says he will time it.

Heroic Self-Deprecation: Mr. Rogers in response to Lloyd's question says lightheartedly that he doesn't consider himself a hero. This is despite the good he has done for children nationally and internationally.

Sidelong Glance Biopic: The film is less a comprehensive retelling of Fred Rogers' life and more about a person's personal experience with him.

Meta Casting: Tom Hanks has a similar degree of "beloved celebrity" adored wherever he goes, coupled with the otherwise unknown cast makes it quite believable to see them walking around while Hanks draws crowds.

Shown Their Work: As the journalist who inspired Lloyd covered in his profile, a group of kids and parents did sing to Mr. Rogers on the train when they recognized him. Rogers regretted afterwards that he was so surprised that he didn't join in.
